the chorus

The chorus of men. In their first apprearance, they just sound
like kids to me. In fact, it almost brought me back to childhood. These
guys are singing about how disastrous and awful it is with Athens under female
control. It takes a complete shot at their manhood and that traditional male
model of power. Clearly, these men do not take female authority seriously.
Upon reading this for the first time, I wondered if they could even be convinced to
settle peace with the women.
